net force = mass x acceleration; so you just divide the force by the mass. This assumes no other forces (such as friction) are at work.

What is the mass of cement block that requires a force of 200 N to accelerate it at 5 ms2?

The idea here is to use Newton's Second Law: F=ma, that is, force = mass x acceleration. Replace the numbers you know - I assume the acceleration is in meters/second2 - and solve for the one you don't - in this case, the mass.


An object with a mass of 9 kg experiences a force of 16.2 N What is the acceleration of the object?

A newton is a kg *m/ s^2. Acceleration is in m/s^2. Thus divide the force in Newtons by kilograms and you will get an acceleration value.In this case: 20 N / 100 kg = 0.2 m/ s^2


What force must be applied to a 60 kg object to make it accelerate at 10 meters per second?

A train accelerates from 30 km per hr to 45 km per hr in 15 seconds Find its acceleration and distance?

By kmh you probably mean km/h. If so, (40-35)km/h=(45-40)km/h=(50-45)km/h=5km/h is the change in velocity each second and (5km/h)= (5km/h)(1h/3600s)=0.0013888889km/s=(0.00138km/s)(1000m/km)=about 1.38m/s and the acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the change in time. The acceleration is then a=(1.38m/s)/1s=about 1.38m/s2.


If a person's mass is 32 kg on mars what would their mass be on earth?

If your mass is 40kg on Earth, you would weighabout 392 Newtons depending on your location. This is because the Earth exerts 9.8 Newtons of gravitational force on a body per kilogram of that body's mass. In the US, you would say you weighed about 88 pounds.On Mars, a 40 kg person would weigh about 148 Newtons, or about 33 pounds.Because many countries now use SI units inappropriately, there is some confusion about the difference between mass and weight. If you are asking this question for a physics assignment, the answer is 40 kg, but that would be your mass, not your weight. If you are asking because you want to know what it would be like on Mars, you could say that you would feel like you were 15 kg on the equator of Mars...but actually you would feel heavier because you wouldn't have exercised your legs at all in about 6 months.Sources: High school physics, Wikipedia (Mars article) and Cornell.edu

How much force must be applied by a golf club to give a stationary 90 gram ball an acceleration of 40 meters per second?

Force= mass x acceleration, first convert the 90g into kg because that is the SI unit of mass. so 90g = .09kg F= 0.09kg x 40m/s = 3.6 Newtons and to 1 significant digit its 4 newtons

What is the force a student exerts if she has a mass of 40kg and accelerates at 2 meters per second per second?

F = M A In order for a 40-kg mass to accelerate at 2 meters/sec2 , a force of (40 x 2) = 80 newtons has to come from somewhere. That force is what produces that acceleration.
